Argo site down?

[scimanstev]

I'm not sure if it changed since you checked it but it's now a countdown timer. It looks like time is up tomorrow afternoon.

Oh yes, I am watching the count down timer.
Since things were getting close to my placing an order, I have looked at this site almost constantly. I am really feeling like part of the community, even though last Saturday was the only time I actually saw, rode in, and drove an Argo. I was totally hooked. I read more and more, and continue to learn from others experience.

I intend to be at this site for many years, and will help others as they have helped me. I am strong in electronics, computers, physics, and herpetology, but I am gaining fast on Amphib's. I was born for this!

No, they're a relatively small Canadian manufacturer but I know their president and VP of engineering are former Arctic Cat people so there's probably some ties there.

Ahhh...ok thanks!

I am both curious and nervous. I intend to place an order within the next week, and I'm not sure what to expect. I will be relieved once the site reopens, and all is revealed.

Rebadging a sidebyside would be funny! but don't forget that Argo also manufactured a non-amphibious 3wheeler and sled at one point. It would be really hard to beat the current ARGOs.

Personally I don't see them joining the non amphibious market. I think if they develope an aatv with suspension, that would be a game changer and would push their sales up. Let's wait and see what happened tomorrow, because I'm excited either way. If the new model doesn't offer anything ground breaking then I'll buy an 17 Avenger for a great deal!

I agree, I did a quick Google and found this image looks pretty spot on from the little you can see on the Argo picture.

Does Argo manufacture the Arctic Cat line of vehicles?

an Argo 4 wheeler would be very cool. but i would like to see them still get the design they have now which i assume they are not changing everything? oh well not the first time Argo made something different,they made the Taurus trike,the had an Argo shark skidoo as well,nothing wrong with exploring the waters i guess..... worth a shot

this may be a good thing. i noticed there are 2 different sets of headlights,but the grill looks spot on maybe this will be considered an amphibious 4 wheeeler that may be in the price range as atvs as well. im very excites to see the price and features it has. if its not a tub on wheels im will be peeed off

The other picture they showed with it under the cover showed it had 6 wheels... but since they blocked their whole site, it looks like they are introducing new 6 and 8 wheelers.

Definitely not amphibious, But I would say it is rebadged. Judging by the grill and lights best bet would be arcticcat prowler. They have a few spare models since the Textron takeover.

Not surprising given the arctic cat management they have brought in lately. Just disappointing and tough to get excited about. If it's not amphibious why is it an Argo? But all conjecture based on a picture of a grill and headlights. Find out soon enough.

On a different note we stopped by an Argo dealer on the way to vacation and got to take a Avenger S for a test drive. Being my first Argo to drive it was definitely different, but I was extremely impressed in turning radius and over all handling. It didn't beat me to death like I was afraid and my wife loved it. She was dead against it, but she is coming on board. The kiddos had a great time riding around as welll.
